    Cheese cake squares Besse's on Clear Lake Hwy 8 Tomahawk WI
    Ted T.

    Enjoyed our first visit to Besse's on Clear Lake. Our server (s) were friendly and attentive. I tried the baby back ribs with spaeztle , she is had the buttery crusted baked scallops. Refreshing Mojito and an excellent "Wisconsin in a glass" Brandy Old Fashioned made it to the table in a timely fashion. Cheese cake squares (just the right size and price /$3 after dinner) rounded out this delicious and fun visit to scenic Clear Lake.

    Went to Besse's at 5:30 weeks after the Food Network TV completed the $10,000 facelift. Was nice to see all of the interior improvements along with a fresh innovative menu. We had a party of 3 who all chose different selections including walleye with potato pancakes; walleye & oyster curry with soup & corn ragu pasta with a salad. All were good tasting unique dinners. Go early, by 5:30 in the summer to get a table or prepared to wait. That's usual anywhere in the northwoods in the summer. Besse's has a great view of Clear Lake offering inside & outside seating. Service was ok & was nice to meet Brenda, the owner.

    $22 Dinner presentation.  Note the loose piece of meat on the left that looks like a nibble was taken before it was served.

    Silver Birch Supper Club - Fish fry with hash browns

    We consistently have great service and food here. Tonight we had the prime rib and shrimp scampi…read more We also tried the escargot for the first time here, and it was fantastic! The prime rib was perfectly seasoned and melted in your mouth. The shrimp scampi sauce was super flavorful with excellent jumbo shrimp. The restaurant is really cute inside with a nice bar and a big deck with outside seating overlooking Half Moon Lake. We also love their Friday night fish fry, the old fashioneds, and ice cream drinks. As another reviewer mentioned, literally the only thing that would make this place better would be larger water glasses

    After living in Minnesota years ago we have not been in a Wisconsin Supper Club for a very long…read moretime. Traveling from Minneapolis through Wisconsin on our way home to Ohio we found ourselves in Tomahawk, WI. Using YELP to find the best restaurants in the area we decided to try the Birch Supper Club which was ranked as the # 1 restaurant in the area. The Silver Birch Supper Club was more than what we hoped to find. The food was spectacular and the employees were so kind and helpful (my wife has some serious health problems). Our server, Oriana, was extremely kind and understanding. Being in Wisconsin I felt obligated to order a Brandy Old Fashioned, and it was one of the best drinks I have ever had! Hats off to you ma'am. We live in Cincinnati, but we are already encouraging our daughters to bring their families to the Tomahawk area and to go to the Silver Birch Supper Club on vacation. If I could give this restaurant 6 stars, I would.
